Hawzah News Agency-The Vatican released the itinerary for the Caucasus trip, which was originally planned as an extension of Francis’ recent visit to Armenia but was split up.

In majority-Muslim Azerbaijan, Francis will celebrate Mass with the tiny Catholic community and meet with the region’s chief imam, the Orthodox bishop of Baku and head of the country’s Jewish community.

In his meetings with the president and Azerbaijani officials, Francis is also expected to raise the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.

End.
